Edinburgh: Collaborative Ruby Code Reading

A couple of years ago, we spent a meetup reading the source code of Ruby’s OpenStruct class (https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/4a41a0f7d6bf01c491bd1031d7647b029e328b59/lib/ostruct.rb). In our efforts to understand what was going on, we ended up learning about Singleton classes, hash references and symbol table misses. We investigated related code and played around with how we might implement the code differently. It’s been a while, and the blowy winds of change make July feel like a good time to gain insight from how other folk solve problems.

We’ll pick a small project via the mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/scotrug) (feel free to make a suggestion), then spend the meetup collaboratively going over it. We look forward to seeing you there! If it’s your first time coming along, we’d love to see you! We’re a friendly bunch with lots of different levels of experience and backgrounds.
